Description
To enhance my understanding of the eastern aesthetic that so enthralled me, I studied the classics at St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I had taken my beautiful surroundings for granted before, but at college I learned just how important they were to me. My new home was an aesthetic void - a cold, bare cinderblock dorm room. I felt bereft in these sterile quarters,but on a student budget I could no longer afford to live amid the beauty that nourished me. Still, I knew I wouldn't be happy until I did.
Over time, this lack of beauty and funds gave me an idea: I could send for the objects that made my last home so beautiful, and sell a few to finance the shipping. When I put them on the market, the interest that met these eastern antiques was overwhelming. As it turned out, I wasn't the only person in the desert who loved the elegant simplicity of Asian art. People were hungry for more, so I began to furnish them. It was my junior year in college, and Shibui was born.
Since graduating, I have worked exclusively to develop Shibui and make it accessible to people around the world. I continue to study and increase my familiarity with things Shibui, and strive to acquire one-of-a-kind merchandise that can transform and enrich any setting. At Shibui, I do what I love: share my passion with others and add beauty to their lives. Thank you for your interest in our collection; we hope it will enhance your life as well.
